Well for starters it wouldn't be an MMO or multiplayer at all. Those by their very nature have an online requirement.
So you could Morrowind* it, I suppose.
But a far better investment of that money would be to create a new game from scratch. WoW might be heavily altered but it's still a 2004 MMO. With a budget that large you could create an infinite legion of single player RPGs in a wide variety of different settings with wildly different stories, lore and character creation options.
In short, WoW would be a waste of time and money. At best you'd wind up creating a game that the MMO fans wouldn't want and wouldn't appeal to fans of single player RPGs either due to the demand for greater sophistication from those games.
*Take a game designed from the start to be an MMO and change it into a single player game.
